Welcome Back!!

The women of Eta Omicron would like to officially welcome everyone back to school! We hope that you had a wonderful summer and you are looking forward to an exciting new school year.

With recruitment coming up, all of the girls have been working hard to get the DG name out on campus. Sisters have been chalking sidewalks, cutting out anchors, creating cute signs for their apartment doors, car chalking their vehicles, and wearing our letters everywhere we go. Obviously, we cannot wait to share our sisterhood with fabulous new sisters.

Keep looking back for more recruitment information!

Second Annual Anchorslam

April 4, 2009 was a very busy day for the women of Eta Omicron as they hosted their second annual Anchorslam. Anchorslam is a 3-on-3 basketball tournament hosted by the Delta Gamma's in order to raise money for their philanthropy, Service for Sight. Over 10 teams participated in the tournament with the championship game being played between team "Zebras" (Brian Evans, Johnathon Dean, and Luke Folkerts) and team "PFG" (Matt Belk, Matthew McSpadden, Brock Peters and Dallas Smith.) PFG came away with the title of Anchorslam Champs and received gift cards to Academy for their win. The runners-up, the Zebras, also received gift cards for their 2nd place finish.

Delta Gamma was also very excited to get to visit with some of the alumnae who attended this event. A special thank you goes out to Judy Englehart for all of her help with the planning of Anchorslam and her help at the event. This day would not have been as successful if it were not for her support. Delta Gamma was also very excited to have the support of Steff Jones and her three wonderful little boys. We are so glad that you all could share in this big day.





Overall, Delta Gamma raised over $1300 to send to Service for Sight! Way to go girls!

Quote Day!

Today's quote is:

"Sisterhood is the essence of all the wisdom of the ages, distilled into a single word. You cannot see sisterhood, neither can you hear it nor taste it. But you can feel it a hundred times a day. It is a pat on the back, a smile of encouragement. It's someone to share with, to celebrate your achievements." ~ Anonymous

Hope you enjoy!!

P.S. Keep checking back to read about the 2nd annual Anchorslam. Post and pictures coming soon!!

Love Eta O!

" I have had a lot of fun times with all of my sisters here, wish I could have had a chance to know some of you guys a little better, but at least we all met. I have met a couple of my best friends here and gained a ton of great friendships! I will miss everyone when I leave for Austin, TX. But, hopefully I'll have a lot of visitors coming to see me down there! Some of my favorite moments were when my class and I were first getting to know one another. Everyone opened up and had no secrets to hide, we were all so welcoming to each other and that was so comporting! I wish that I could have been able to do that with the rest of the classes. I hope you all will keep this chapter so wonderful and amazing, I know you all will. Keep in touch!"
